The prayer I learned is "St. Anthony, St. Anthony, look around. Something is lost and must be found."

St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost things.

I swear, it works. I don't know if it just calms my mind where I can actually search more effectively, or somehow triggers my mind to think more imaginatively for where I left something, but I would be out a LOT OF MONEY in lost contacts were it not for that little prayer. ;D

St. Anthony St. Anthony, look around, something is lost and must be found oh there's my contact. ;D

Speaking of which, I think my desk is the Bermuda Triangle.. I somehow managed to lose the spreadsheet I was working on yesterday.

Now then....don't think I'm a 'nut' or 'losing my marbles', but this really works.If you can't find something, just say "St. Anthony please help me to find....," and within a few mins. I guarantee you'll most likely find it !!

I'm not religious, but there is only one time St. Ant has let me down.

Try it !

It's TRUE. He helped me find my diamond that had fallen out of the setting. It was incredible how and where I found it. It was incredible I found it at ALL. Everyone who heard the story thought I was surely blessed or incredibly lucky and told me to play the lottery that day.

I may be imagining it, but isn't there a gadget you can fix to your key chain that 'beeps' when you page it ?

Darn useful if there is !

There are things like that.. but that takes the fun out of looking for them. I'm actually pretty good about not misplacing them as I usually always put them in my pocket.. but somedays I don't have pockets.. like yesterday.. and I bought a new purse.. which doesn't have pockets.. so who knows where they wound up.
